bird passed over my head at a great [illegible] flying close together, like pigeons. I shot the nearest one and found that it was a Fales Harversin, a y.y. bird in fine plumage. Taking the boat up river I got 5 or 6 birds diverse. 2 little Gans. 1/8. Saw [illegible] very large flocks of wablos but they were quite thin. Saw also a Pschilus etc. probably almost the last. Shunned bird call P.M. Sept. 3 cloudy muggy & smoky. Heavy Gale of wind with rain late in the P.M. At 9 I took the boat up lake in the morning & disembarked at Leonard's Pt. Stay on the narrows for ducks for two hours or so, and I got several shots killing one Gans, divers etc but from a flocks of which hit me. I had only one shot a long one when I missed. Killed a Pigeons Gans. Heard a ?? Arctious After eating dinner we paddled down river & landed. Tried for snipe flushing thru all of which I killed the first six without missing. While eating lunch we amused ourselves with fielding the chubs multitude of which soon collected around the boat.
